okay, so i feel like an idiot after spending the last 20 minutes looking online, through the user guide, and even through the cd user guide that came with the monitor to no avail. i have an extra monitor (which is a widescreen monitor) to use with my laptop here at the chocolate shop for design - or the occasional movie/tv show viewing as we take a break between batches of product. it came with a stereo 1/8" cable for audio as well as an audio input on the back, so i assumed, it must have speakers inside. i checked various forums online which said that they were decent sounding 1.5" speakers. i could not get a single sound to come out of them at all... but was determined.
so, after looking over the 1/8" audio cord for crimps/cuts and then checking my output on my laptop several times; i came across a post with the solution to my problem. and it turned out to be in a not so obvious spot.
(or was it?)
HERE'S THE FIX.
it turns out that you do not have to scroll through any menus to get the sound to work. you just have to push the arrow buttons to adjust the volume. (pushing the little blue arrow to the right turned the volume up and pushing the one to the left turned it down.) seems so obvious, but i just assumed they were navigation arrows; not volume arrows. they are dual purpose arrows i guess.
i found this nowhere in the literature for the monitor. just kept reading "for audio in (optional) models" and wondering if i had one w/o built-in speakers. so, if it's too loud or not loud enough, just try pushing the arrows. duh.
